New Year's Day is still a very happy day for the Song Dynasty. The Zhao Guanjia family was not so happy in 323. First, Empress Dowager Chen, who was in his seventies, accidentally fell ill by cold. Not long after the minor illness, the empress dowager developed pneumonia. The empress dowager who had not survived it returned to heaven. The emperor, who was almost eighty, was quite tired when he took care of the empress dowager. When the empress dowager died because of excessive sadness, he also died after falling ill.

The Supreme Emperor and Empress Chen died one after another, but they scared the local officials in Quanzhou. Although the Zhao family was not worried that the Zhao family would really take their anger on them, they also felt the pressure.

Zhao Jiaren did not really want to do anything about these guys. Even if the couple in their seventies died in the 21st century, it would not be considered a premature death, let alone in the Song Dynasty when "life is rare in seventy years". Zhao Jiaren originally wanted to go back to his hometown Quanzhou and transport his parents' coffin back to Hangzhou for burial, but received urgent news that plague symptoms appeared in Quanzhou.

The Song Dynasty officials now know that the plague is not caused by a 'plague god', but that plague bacillus introduced from other places has been spread among the people. Now the entire Quanzhou is closed down and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Zhao Jiaren's plan to go south to pick up the coffin has to be terminated.

Before Quanzhou's epidemic prevention progress was made, plague patients suddenly appeared in Ningbo. This caused a shock in Jiangnan. After investigation, it turned out that the onset had contacted a person who came from a ship from the Red Sea. The Maritime Bureau learned through telegram that the ship was sailing towards Hangzhou. However, it scared the officials and quickly dispatched personnel to intercept them urgently. Finally, it was intercepted before the ship entered the port.

In recent years, the Song Dynasty has been vaccinated in various vaccinations, patriotic health month publicity, school education, and large-scale infectious diseases in big cities are becoming less and less severe infectious diseases. This time, such a problem occurred, and the Maritime Bureau was very nervous. They also knew that this incident alarmed the Zhao Guan family, and they dared not slacken.

The investigation results that had just been released were urgently delivered to the head of the school of the Maritime Bureau. It was already night. As soon as the person in charge lay down, he forced himself to get up and read the documents. After reading them, the person in charge could no longer sleep. After thinking about it, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Sima Kao.

Sima Kao has retired. The old Shangshu has bought a villa in Gusu at this time and began to enjoy the joy of family life. Although the news of the plague has caused a lot of shock in the market, the Patriot Health Month in Gusu has only been in seven or eight years. The people have a very high tolerance for the epidemic of infectious diseases, so the market only requires everyone to drink boiled water and to kill rats. People who see strange diseases should notify the government as soon as possible. In addition, they can live their lives as they should.

Before the letter was delivered to Sima Kao, the old Shangshu, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, was having fun with the singing girl with a few old men who were equally rich and leisure. Seeing his relatives appear outside the door, Sima Kaoxing got up and went out without any trouble. If it weren't for an urgent matter, the follower wouldn't have been disappointed at this time. Sima Kao asked with a stern face: "What's wrong?"

"The third aunt wrote a letter to deliver it." said nervously.

Sima Kao didn't say anything, but took out the reading glasses and brought them with him. The letter was handed to Sima Kao. Sima Kao opened it and looked at it for a few times, and his face became angry. But Sima Kao did not scold him. He read the letter first, and then read it again. After a while in anger, Sima Kao gritted his teeth and said to his colleague: "Tell the shopkeeper, I'll go home in advance."

Less than two days later than Sima's examination, Ding Fei, the Supreme Procuratorate General of the Procuratorate, received a report from the Supervision Department. The Supervision Department of the Maritime Bureau believes that the officials responsible for inspecting drinking water storage equipment accepted bribes and condoned criminal gangs to steal sterilized silver pieces from water storage equipment, which directly led to the plague problem.

Ding Fei didn't understand what the relationship was about at the first time, and it was only after the technicians came to explain it. The sea ship needs to store fresh water when it is sailing on the sea, and bacteria will grow when the fresh water is stored for a long time. The solution of Zhao Guanjia is very simple, installing silver pieces inside the storage device. This sterilization effect is very good, and there will be no accidents in the sea ship even from the ocean to Fusangzhou. However, the currency minted by silver is one of the legal currency in the Song Dynasty.

Due to the oxidation and other problems, silver pieces have to be polished every other period, and the water storage equipment needs to be cleaned and trimmed. Some people started to make up their ideas. The silver pieces in the sink were stolen by some people, and the thieves colluded with the person in charge of the inspection and asked the inspector to issue false certificates. The stolen silver pieces were divided up by these people.

"To facilitate the concealment of people's eyes, these people kept silver pieces near the upper mouth when stealing the water storage equipment. This part of the silver pieces will be seen when inspecting it. They specialize in stealing silver pieces below and at the bottom. This time the plague is that after the water drops to the part without silver pieces, plague bacteria fall into the water, and there is no silver dissolved in the water to sterilize it, which leads to this problem." The technician said calmly.

Looking at the technician's expression of 'I knew something would happen', Ding Fei asked: "What I will say next is not included in the record. I think you have heard such rumors a long time ago."

The technician was stunned. He could not see his expression, so he didn't know that he was revealing the situation. Most science and engineering men are not the kind of people who have unlimited requirements for other people's morality. They may not be willing to let them stand up and fight against evil officials. But these people at least admit that good and evil are good. Although they know that Ding Fei hit the nail on the head, the technicians dare not immediately admit that there is such a thing.

Ding Fei was from the traitor committee. He knew about this expression at first glance. It seemed that this matter was not a problem that had just happened recently. He didn't ask questions, so he asked the technicians to go down first.

The cadres of the Supervision Office sitting next to him were very nervous. If such a case had not been exposed to such a high level, I think the Maritime Affairs Bureau might have dealt with it on its own. Now someone is exposed to the Supreme Procuratorate of the Song Dynasty, the impact will naturally not be simple. Zhao Guan’s family is an emperor at the moment, and he is never ruthless when he kills people. Ding Fei had also killed many traitors before he was transferred to the procuratorate.

Ding Fei did not speak immediately, and his eyes skipped from the report. The name Sima Bin seemed particularly big on paper. This person was Sima Kao's grandson, the official responsible for checking water storage equipment. If this matter really became an industrial chain, there would be a group of big rats who specialize in eating this way, Sima Bin knew that Sima Bin knew that such a thing could happen, and Sima Bin was at least in the same group as these people.

In the evening, Ding Fei arrived at a cadre community. He entered the left door on the second floor of a house. When he knocked on the door, the woman who opened the door shouted in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"

"Second sister, is your Sun Hong at home?" Ding Fei asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came out of the inner room. He welcomed him enthusiastically, "Brother, are you here? Have you eaten?"

Ding Feiyangyang gave the big paper bag and a bottle of wine in his hand, "Let my sister make some soup and let's drink it."

The two men ate and drank for a while, and then they got to the point. Ding Fei asked bluntly: "You have been in the Maritime Bureau for so long, and you must have heard of someone stealing silver pieces in the sink."

Sun Hong's chopsticks were stopped above the braised beef. Although he wanted to pick up a piece and eat it in his mouth, Sun Hong still couldn't do it. Finally, Sun Hong took back the chopsticks and said in embarrassment: "Brother, I really don't know who did this."

"I'm not here to ask you this. I just want to ask, you know something like this."

"Yes. I know."

"I don't ask the name or the location. I just want you to tell me the truth. When was the first time you heard such rumors?"

This problem made Sun Hong very embarrassed. He scratched his head and was silent for a while. Ding Fei's sister Ding Ning urged, "If you tell me, just say, what's there to hide. It would be fine if this was just to let them get some benefits in their positions, but such things hurt everyone. The plague is really prevalent, and will bacteria still determine your status? What if our children are infected!"

After being scolded by his wife, Sun Hong finally spoke, "I heard about such a thing about five years ago."

"Five years ago..., weren't you in Songjiang Mansion at that time?"

"Yes. I was working in the port of Songjiang Prefecture at that time. I heard about such things. No one in other departments has ever talked about this."

After eating and drinking, Ding Fei said goodbye. With the statement from insiders, although he was not sure it was true, it was at least that this matter was not in the near future. Ding Fei was not a reckless person. He knew very well that such a thing must be dealt with. Even officials and cadres who were lazy like his sister thought that this matter was harmful to her interests, and the majority of officials and cadres who were disgusted with it should be.

The reason why thousands of people are criticized is gone without a problem. This matter is probably not simply because Sima Kao had sinned before, so many people, so some people want to attack the people of the Sima family. There must be some people out of righteous indignation against Sima Kao outside of personal personalities.

Ding Fei held back, and some people couldn't help it. Two days later, the morning meeting of the Ministry of Rites Xiong Shang found Ding Fei and whispered to ask about it. Ding Fei said calmly, "That's the case."

"Do you know that the one who brought the boat with the official documents?" Xiong Shang said nervously.

"Document to the official family?" Ding Fei was really surprised. As the news increased, the situation became more and more interesting. If it was just a few worms, it was just a little bit of trouble. No matter how big the matter was, it was just a corruption and abuse of power. However, if the matter involved the official family, someone might ask whether the documents that the official family would see were deliberately contaminated with plague.

"Prosecutor Ding. These documents must be handed over to our Ministry of Rites first. We will hand them over to the officials after reading them. Fortunately, the clues were found halfway through. Otherwise, our Ministry of Rites would be unaware of them. And even if it is infected, the Ministry of Rites, who is looking at the documents first, was infected." Xiong Shang's expression was painful, and his tone was even more painful.

"Oh." Ding Fei responded. As the former chairman of the traitor anti-traitor committee, Ding Fei was not worried about Xiong Shang's problem. Shangshu Xiong had actually been secretly investigated. So Ding Fei sorted out his thoughts and asked: "Shangshu Xiong, has the report been given to the official family?"

Xiong Shang was stunned. He never expected Ding Fei to ask this question. After listening for a moment, Xiong Shang replied: "After carefully disinfecting the documents, we have copied them again and sent them to the official."

"How did you copy it?" Ding Fei continued to ask.

"...We asked the staff to sit in the sterilized room and put the disinfected documents in front of the glass window of the sterilized room, so that the staff in the sterilized room could copy it." Xiong Shang explained helplessly.

"So it can still be like this!" Ding Fei couldn't help but exclaim. He himself didn't think of how to ensure that the documents after disinfection were foolproof. Unexpectedly, the people from the Ministry of Rites could really come up with a solution. While sighing, Ding Fei lowered his voice and asked: "Shangshu Xiong, will anyone in the Ministry of Rites tell the officials about this?"

Xiong Shang became even more helpless and sighed: "Of course we won't talk about it, but I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be hidden for too long. God knows who will gossip behind his back."

Ding Fei expressed his agreement with Xiong Shang's view. Faced with such a big thing, God knows who would say what it is. Even if this matter is limited to the smallest part, Sima Kao's grandson Sima Bin probably can't be saved.

Back at the procuratorate, Ding Fei ordered, "The Supervision Department began to investigate the matter and requested the public security to cooperate."

From the general process, the public security is responsible for accepting the report. After the investigation process, the public security hand over the report to the inspection department. The procuratorate is responsible for deciding whether to file a case and prosecute the case. The court is responsible for deciding whether to accept the case. Once the case is received, a court will be held, and the procuratorate will prosecute the case. The defendant has his own defense lawyer. In court, he will conduct a judicial offensive and defense on the factual evidence of the prosecutor and the defendant.

Most of this is aimed at civil and criminal cases. Now Ding Fei is facing illegal and illegal cases within the government. In the past, this was based on Lantai, that is, the imperial envoys came to "report and report the news", or officials reported through memorials. Whether to handle the case will be decided by the officials or the prime minister.

Now Zhao Jiaren and Zhao official family do not appoint the prime minister, and have included the prime minister's power in the hands of the officials, and have established and improved the new public, procuratorial and judicial system through the action of trial of Song treason. Although the officials still have the power to launch edicts, the power to conduct judicial investigations and trials of corrupt officials is nominally included in the hands of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice composed of public, procuratorial and judicial. Ding Fei did not expect that he would face such a case, and he was really excited. Ding Fei's only question was "Will the Zhao official family publicly launch edicts?"

Ding Fei was right, the intelligence agency is still in operation. As long as the term spy is turned into the National Security Administration, Zhao Jiaren fully agrees with the existence of the intelligence agency. The ethics of privileged literati are not as good as prostitutes. Unless it was a fraud gang that set up a condom at the beginning, normal prostitutes will provide services after collecting money. They give enough money, and the services provided by senior call girls and American female students from Sweet Dad Network are still very satisfactory.

History has proved countless times that the more money the privileged literati took from the court and the more exploited the working people, the more they were disloyal to their duties and the country. Therefore, the news of this matter was conveyed to Zhao Jiaren from the beginning. Because of the death of his close relative, Zhao Jiaren was immediately furious and almost ordered the implementation of the imperial prison.

But after that, Zhao Jiaren held back. After his thoughts were filled with malicious thoughts, Zhao Jiaren really wanted to taste more blood. If the imperial edict was issued from the beginning, the matter would probably end with Sima Bin and his accomplices. How much blood would he shed? It is very likely that no one would lose his head because of this. So Zhao Jiaren held it back, and he was about to see how many people would get involved in this broken matter and how many people would get lost.

The work of the Ministry of Rites made Zhao Jiaren quite satisfied. The thick report from Eastern Rome gave Zhao Jiaren a rough idea of ​​what was going on there. Based on the concept that Zhao Jiaren already had, he felt that the changes in the world had reached a tremendous level. At this stage, Mongolia has the strength that surpasses Europe, and hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops are enough to establish a new dynasty in the Mesopotamia. The strength of this dynasty will only be stronger than the Ottoman Turkey that has not yet appeared.

With the attitude of the Mongols towards the True God Cult, this new dynasty will not become a True God Cult country in the short term. Zhao Jiaren did not have the interest in competing for power in the Mediterranean with the future Central Asian Mongol Empire, which was a very ineffective thing. Zhao Jiaren only wanted the fleet of the Song Dynasty to roam in the Tianzhu Ocean, and was not even interested in turning the Tianzhu Plain into the territory of the Song Dynasty. The third brother just wanted to be a second-class slave in the future Tianzhu colony. There was no need to make them Chinese.

On the farther east coast of the Mediterranean, all Zhao Jiaren wanted was to have the Suez Canal. The Song Dynasty fleet could reach Europa without bypassing the Cape of Good Hope. However, if you want to achieve such a goal, you would need to rely on war. When the court was fluctuating, Zhao Jiaren focused his attention on the expedition.

If the Song Dynasty carried out this expedition, it would definitely be a very dangerous expedition. The Mongolian was so timid that they were defeated by Mamuliuk without taking more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry. The Song Dynasty was also likely to be defeated in a distant place where the enemy was everywhere. So Zhao Jiaren thought about it and found Xiong Shang, the Minister of Rites.

It can be seen that Xiong Shang was very nervous. But Xiong Shang didn't dare to say anything and just waited for Zhao Jiaren to ask questions.

"Shangshu Xiong, have you read all those reports?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"Report to the official family, I have seen it all."

"Now the Mamuliks are afraid of the Mongols launching an attack. What if we buy the isthmus between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean from Mamulik?"

"Buy the isthmus?" Xiong Shang was confused by these words.

Zhao Jiaren took out a map, which marked the isthmus, which is the location of the "Suez Canal".

After reading this, Xiong Shang was even more puzzled. He asked tentatively: "Official family, after we buy this place, we will block between the Mongolians and Mamuliuk?"

Zhao Jiaren smiled and shook his head, "Of course we will not send troops to help Mamuliuk. I want to be famous in everything. We have this land in the isthmus, and after the Mongolians kill Mamuliuk, we will propose to the Mongols that these lands belong to us, and the Mongols must leave."

"How could the Mongolians listen to us?"
